Could the next show in the Big Bang Theory universe have real dungeons and dragons?

It just may, going by what creator/showrunner Chuck Lorre told a crowd at the Banff World Media Festival they should “expect some big effects” in that show’s planned spinoff, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe.

Though very little has been revealed about the plot of Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, we know it will star Kevin Sussman revisiting his role as comic book store owner Stuart Bloom. This time Stuart is leading the show rather than playing a minor character.

“There’s a lot of CGI,” Lorre told the crowd. “There’s a lot of special technical stuff that — you know, for me in my career, a big production number was two people sitting on a couch, drinking coffee! This is different. This is trying to incorporate some of that world of science fiction/fantasy into a comedy.”

Lorre continued, ” I’m completely out of my element, which is what I wanted. Which is what I was hoping to do, something that I had no experience with. And maybe I can learn as we go.”

Also cast in Stuart are Brian Posehn, who appeared in The Big Bang Theory in the role of Bert Kibbler, a geologist at Caltech; Lauren Lapkus, who played Denise, the assistant manager of Stuart’s comic book store and Stuart’s eventual love interest; and John Ross Bowi, who will reprise the role of Barry Kripke, a fellow physicist at Cal-Tech.

If picked up, Stuart will air on HBO Max, but despite no official start date, the show is currently in development. “I reunited with my old pal, Bill Prady, who I created The Big Bang Theory with, and a wonderful science fiction feature writer named Zak Penn, who’s written a lot of gigantic, big time Marvel kind of movies with superheroes and things,” Lorre said. “And we’ve written 10 episodes of this thing.”

This would be the third show spun off of BBT; Young Sheldon ran for seven seasons and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, spun off of Sheldon, was just renewed for a second season.
